Blowouts, physical playoff games, controversial endings.....all of the ways a team can beat another one, the San Diego Chargers have beaten the Tennessee Titans over the past 6-7 years.

Nashville, San Diego, rain, sleet, snow, or heat...its been a long time since the Titans have beaten the Bolts.

And I don't like a desperate Charger team hosting a Tennessee team who is playing the 3rd of 3 games in 13 days this Sunday on a wagon train trip.

Anyways, I look forward to chatting up all my Charger fans this week. I know this season is NOT going the way you guys want, but this is still a very talented team and all the statistics show it.

I'm waiting for you guys to break out, I just hope you wait one more week.

TF24, you rawk! :icon_toast:

None of us here has a clue as to which Charger team will show up. Chris Johnson scares the $hit out of me. Dude can bring it ANYTIME he wants. We stop him and we don't stop ourselves, we have a chance.

Fans will ask "why did it take so long" and "the team was not prepared then and it is prepared now".

KC is young and young teams do dumb things. Their time will come where they will come back to the pack by losing games in hideous fashions even with a cup cake schedule.

They play disciplined. I do not expect them to finish worse than 10-6, at absolute worst. More likely 11-5.

I don't see this incarnation of the Chargers doing better than 8-8, 9-7 with a miracle or two.

This really looks to me like the year Smitty's sins are finally visited upon us, and I know he's your guy, but hiring Norv, mediocre drafts, too many reaches burning too many picks, eschewing free agency are adding up. We lucked out in that one 8-8 season, no such luck this year. Likely at least part of a season lost in 2011, no full season until 2012. And I expect both Smith and Turner to still be here, and I don't expect significant improvement by then given past performances. Maybe we'll get lucky in those next two drafts, we're due. But looking ahead, it looks like a long rough road ahead to me.

I'd love to see more optimism looking ahead, but I can't manufacture it because I see on the field an inadequate roster, consistently underperforming for what they have. This isn't a SB squad but it has enough talent to be undefeated with a break or two at this point, it shouldn't be NEAR 2-5.

We are pretty much set in the skill positions. If we get all BEEF (and a kicker) in the next draft we should be set. We need to get the lines fixed. We can also use another pass rusher IMO.

The thing we have going are the draft picks we have for next year. We are loaded for bear in just about every round.

We need linemen to take it to the next level. The D-line is a joke. The O-line is not much better. Get those areas beefed up and we are ready for the dance.

We've yet to get blown out yet, and we won't get blown out by the Titans.

A) I don't think they have the fire power.
B) Our defense is damn solid, and we always give VY fits.

We'll find another way too lose. I'm guessing sack/fumbles, Norv setteling for FGs because he's too much of a coward to go for it on 4th and short, or.......we're actually due for a Hochuli call.

Don't be so sure...

..The Titans D is more than capable of scoring alot points and are an agressive oportunistic Defence. If the Chargers Offence continues to make big mistakes and give their defence confidence...the more we try to repsond late in the game it could work against us (espically since we are so one-dimensional at the mo) and the score could get blown out!!

The Titans have been asked to handle some very physical teams and now it's their turn to play a finesse team that will attempt to rip it to shreds with the most potent passing attack in the league. However, the Rams showed that nonstop blitzes actually do work against the Chargers. Live by the blitz and Tennessee wins a close one.
